Note: This table displays the results of sensitivity analyses that were conducted to assess heterogeneity after the removal of studies that included special population(s) or non-validated tools, outliers and influential cases and screening tools, respectively. Heterogeneity remains high (I2 > 80%) despite the removal of the above-mentioned studies across all conditions.
